Tonight's Sky in Davis, Sep 15 – Sep 16, 2019 (6 planets visible)



Mercury rise and set in Davis

Fairly close to the Sun. Visible around sunset only.

Mercury is just 10 degrees from the Sun in the sky, so it is difficult to see.

Saturn rise and set in Davis

Uranus rise and set in Davis

View in the early morning. Bring binoculars.

Uranus can be seen for more than 7 hours during the late night/early morning and until sunrise. It is quite close to the horizon, making it fainter because the light has to cover a larger distance when traveling through the Earth's atmosphere. Make sure to get an unobstructed view. You may need binoculars.
